I havent seen this question posed in the same manner before so I thought I would gather some opinions. Both idparts and Kerma are vendors I have used before (and have enjoyed working with). They both offer an OMI with slightly different features for roughly the same price.

idparts: Looks to have more bracketing and support.
kerma: Seems to have a nicer finish, i have read that they fit better.

Are there any other pros/cons? Are there other options that I don't know about?

This may be a silly question, but what is an OMI?

Kerma(paul) gives military discount and bora(aaron) is a commie lol

Make an intake out of pvc pipe way cheaper.

I have had two OMI's from idParts so far. One I bought in 09 for my Jetta, and one I bought two months ago for my Golf. The fit has gotten better with the new ones. It slipped in without any cursing.

I have also been very happy with Kerma's products (I just never bought an OMI from them).

You would probably be fine with either one of them.
